Even with all these votes this year for “change”. Where’s the change when Obama is appointing all Clintons leftovers. Change the names but not to protect the innocent.

My opinion: Gov. Paterson’s posturing is intended to embarrass the Republican majority, in the N.Y.S. Senate, 1 last time. Prior to January 1, 2009, when the N.Y.S. Senate will have a Democrat(ic) Party majority. At that moment, the N.Y.S.’s legislature and Governor as well as the U.S. Congress, U.S. Senate and the White House will be controlled by Democrats. The Republicans will be able to, then, build a case, however disingenuous, that they are blameless. To await the day when Republicans will be chosen, once again, to replace incumbent Democrats.

Is it any wonder? Why!?!? With all the change. there is never any improvement.

a liitle more info – since election day – the governor has added / promoted 6 people, see the governor’s press releases for details, @ a total salary of $1 million.

the proposed cuts to unionized state employees, does not effect any non-union personnel – assemblymen, senators or there staff(‘s) – govenors staff, or any of the legislatures supporting agencies or commissions.

the best job is a freshmen assembly person, $ 80,000 to start, plus per diem, plus $ from outside interest / jobs and only work 100 days a year, the legislative calender.
